Mumia Abu-Jamal on Zionism’s double standards ( www.workers.org )
The liberals call for a ceasefire. Why not go to the core of things by demanding an end to occupation? Don’t Palestinians deserve freedom? Don’t Palestinians deserve a right to exist? Don’t Palestinians deserve statehood? Or are these things only for [neocolonists]?
Perhaps I’m not being fair. Perhaps. But then I think of the words of an [imperialist] diplomat, the ambassador who was discussing peace with Palestine. Danny Danon, [Zionism’s] United Nations ambassador, in an op-ed piece for the June 24, 2019, edition of the New York Times wrote that Palestinians need only do two things to establish peace: A. Commit (his words) national suicide, and B. Surrender. Think of that. A French imperial colonial couldn’t have said it better.
The U.S. is neither a fair nor impartial arbiter. It is deeply biased and arms apartheid […] with weapons, not of defense, but of offense. The IDF stands for the Israeli Death Force.
So let us begin with a call: Cease the occupation! With love, not phear, this is Mumia Abu-Jamal.
